IMPORTANT
The burner orifi ce provided in this kit are only for use at
elevations of 0 to 2,000 feet (610 M) in the USA and 0 to
4,500 feet (0-1372 M) in Canada. At higher elevations
the BTU input must be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000
feet (305 M) to maintain the proper ratio of gas to air. If
the installer must convert the unit to adjust for varying
altitudes, a deration information sticker must be fi lled
out by the installer and adhered to the appliance at the
time of the conversion. Contact your local gas supplier
for deration requirements for your area.
CAUTION
The gas supply shall be shut OFF prior to disconnecting the electrical power, before proceeding with
the conversion.
3. Remove front refractory access panel by lifting up and angling out
of fi rebox opening (see Figure 2).

ACCESSING FIREPLACE
You may access burner system through opening in front of unit.
1. Remove front glass panels (if installed). This will keep them from
being damaged. To remove, partially open doors. Press up on upper
spring clip of one door panel with a screwdriver until outer top pivot
pin is free of clip (see Figure 1). Repeat with second door panel.
Place glass panels safely out of your work area.
2. Slide open screens and tuck inside outer pockets on fi rebox.

4. Remove logs. Carefully lift top logs straight up until pins are clear
of lower logs (see Figure 3). Continue removing logs one at a time.
The rear log is very heavy and should be lifted with both hands. Place
logs away from your work area. Be careful not to damage logs.

CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS
Burner Orifi ce Conversion
1. Using a #10 short phillips screwdriver, remove top mounting screw
holding pilot burner shield in place (see Figure 4).
2. With orifi ce mount exposed, use a 7/8” open-end back-up wrench
on 3/8” fl are adaptor and remove 3/8” fl are fi tting at the end of 3/8”
fl are adaptor. This will prevent spinning and damage to the fl exible
tube (see Figure 4).
3. Using the 7/8” wrench, remove the remaining orifi ce assembly from
the burner tube.
4. Separate the 3/8” male fl are adaptor from the existing natural gas
orifi ce fi tting and save for later reassembly.
5. Thread the propane/LP gas orifi ce into the propane/LP gas air-mixer
fi tting using a 3/8” deep socket driver. NOTE: LP gas airmixer fi tting
has six (6) holes. The natural gas fi tting has no holes.
6. Apply a light amount of propane/LP resistant sealant to both threaded
ends of LP air-mixer fi tting.
7. Thread large threaded end of propane/LP air-mixer fi tting into burner
tube and tighten with 7/8” wrench until fl ange is fully-seated into
bracket.
8. Replace 3/8” fl are adaptor onto exposed thread on propane/LP
gas air-mixer fi tting. Use 7/8” back-up wrench on fi tting to prevent
turning burner tube.
9. Retighten fl are fi tting on fl exible manifold tube with the 3/4” openend wrench and 7/8” back-up wrench.
10. Reattach pilot shield onto burner bracket with screw removed in
step 1.

Gas Control Valve Conversion
Convert the gas control by swapping out the valve regulator portion of
the gas valve.
1. Using a Torx T20 or slotted screwdriver, remove and discard the
three mounting screws, pressure regulator tower, and diaphragm/
spring components (see Figure 5).
2. Ensure that the rubber gasket is properly positioned on the new pressure regulator assembly. Install LP pressure regulator assembly to
valve using the new mounting screws supplied with the kit. Tighten
screws securely (@ approximately 25 in-lbs.) (see Figure 6).
3. Install the identifi cation label enclosed with the gas valve regulator
to the valve body, where it can easily be seen (see Figure 6).
